Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (Dir. Wright, Cera, Kendrick, Evans, Schwartzman)
- Thread starter Expendable.
- Start date

After the amount of amazing casting decisions Wright has made in his previous movies, I'm going to standby Cera in this.
While it must be pretty fucking difficult to emulate a comic book character created by a guy from Toronto, Cera seems to have just the right mix of confidence and retardation that I would expect.

The scene of him sitting outside the door waiting for Ramona feels 100% Scott Pilgrim.

Yeah I mean most of it is pulled right out of the book, but Cera doesn't feel out of place or anything. Lots of people hating on the casting just because they don't like Michael Cera. Hopefully most people will still give it a chance.

I'm sure people who complain about it are going to see it anyway, their fandom won't allow them to miss it

Yeah, the more you see him, the more you realize how absolutely fantastic he is.
:lol at people who thought Bryan Lee O'Malley of all people could be wrong in his assessment.
I meant, the links ( people would like to be able to download it without Quicktime pro) and even then there's issues with the audio after some people have tried to convert it. Only speaking for us here at GAF though, I'm sure someone else has found a way to make the MP4 1080p version available for dl.BenjaminBirdie said:
But that doesn't matter anymore as Miyahno's link seems to be working!

Trailer is so awesome! It looks like they got everything spot on, I can't wait!

but I am a sheep
Alright black out time, I liked the first trailer much better than the new one and that means time to not see anything else until the films release.

Beat EviLore at pool.
New trailer is win. It seems so long till it comes out but that day will be awesome. Watching the trailer makes me want the 6th book too.
hype levels through the roof.
also, I believe in Michael Cera. He's not one of my favourite actors but judging from those 2 trailers, he can make it, imho. And, fuck, even Bryan Lee O'Malley has said he's really good in it, so haters gonna hate.
And... <3 <3 Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

WHich he's doing. I've read SP backwards and forwards like five times now. He's spot on.

Why would Bryan Lee O'Malley bad mouth his own brainchild before its released? Even if he did disagree with certain aspects of the adaptation, considering the fact that he's likely receiving a percentage of the revenue, it'd be pretty dumb to give potential customers a reason to not see the film. It's not like all comic book creators are Alan Moore.

This is all moot anyway, since Cera is really accurate in his performance. Whether you like his stuff or not is up to you, but he is not a bad Scott Pilgrim. He might be an actor who annoys you, fair enough. But he is Scott Pilgrim in this trailer, front to back.

sometimes its best to not say anything
BenjaminBirdie said:
As have I, and outside of the pre-Ramona Scott Pilgrim where he's relatively reserved and awkward, Cera fails bring the character's sheer passion and outright awesomeness to life in an adequate way. Scott Pilgrim pre-Ramona and Scott Pilgrim post-Ramona are pretty goddamn'd different, and from what I've seen in the trailer, Cera's portrayal of the character is the same from beginning to end. I honestly don't understand under what parameters could you consider Cera a 100% authentic Scott Pilgrim, I'm simply not seeing it. That doesn't mean that his role or the film itself will be bad, it simply means that he failed to bring the character, as it stands in the graphic novel, to life.
I'll just leave it at that, this is simply my opinion of the casting. I'm still hyped for the movie and don't want the thread to devolve into such frivolous debate.

Or one of those game threads where a new trailer's released and everyone comments on the trailer they just watched? Is looking fucking rad. (albeit some people gave a warped perception of what they've just seen...)

At least you've seen an early cut of the film.jon bones said:
Not that early impressions of the film are doing anything to stem the anti-Cera tide.

awesome traillerrrr
Awesome trailer is awesome.
Still uncertain about Cera but I got a few glimmers of hope from the trailer.
Hoping it's just cut to draw in the Cera audience.
This movie will bomb like a mother by the way.
This trailer is fucking awesome for those of us who've read the comics, but people who haven't will have no fucking clue what the fuck is going on and will probably shy away from it.

Good man.derFeef said:
The comics are downright brilliant.
I think Cera lost a lot of his box office draw. I also think that the comic book effects might put a lot of people off. Perhaps bomb is a strong word, but I'm just afraid that it won't find a large audience.SalsaShark said:
Also it's only 50 days until vol 6 is out!
Also also Brian Lee O'Malley teased a different preview during a tv show next week on the SP ning.com forum. When pressed about what show he said "maybe something that teens/girls like since nerds/boys already like Scott Pilgrim"
Maybe glee?
